The first permanent cafe in Pokémon history sits on the fifth floor of the Nihonbashi Takashimaya department store. A Pokémon Center returned to Nihonbashi here after twenty years away. Dishes are shaped like the characters: a curry plate of Pikachu and Pichu, a Snorlax teriyaki burger, Eevee pancakes. A show runs in the dining room, and the counter carries goods branded for the cafe, including a chef Pikachu plush.
